It is an offence, under Section 96 of the Education and Skills Act 2008, for a person to conduct an independent school unless it is registered with the Department. Under Section 97 of the 2008 Act, Ofsted may inspect, without notice, any establishment suspected of operating as an unregistered independent school. <\/em><\/p>

Ofsted have made an attempt to inspect Hope Sussex Community Hub, based on a reasonable cause to believe that a suspected unregistered school was operating on the premises. Ofsted and the Department continue to monitor this case and will take further action as and when justified by available evidence. If evidence is found that shows an unregistered school is operating, the Department, Ofsted and the Crown Prosecution Service will consider whether prosecution is in the public interest.<\/p>

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, remains committed to legislate in order to strengthen Ofsted\u2019s powers with regard to its investigation of unregistered independent schools.<\/p>

Young people are supported by\u202fteam leaders and support workers who are on site 24 hours a day.<\/p>

Records are kept and monitored of children leaving and returning to the hotel. Support workers will accompany children off site on activities and social excursions, or where specific vulnerabilities are identified. All sites have security staff to ensure the safety and welfare of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.<\/p>

Local authorities have a statutory duty to protect all children, regardless of where they go missing from. In the concerning occasion when any child goes missing, regardless of their status, they work closely with other local agencies, including the police, to urgently establish their whereabouts and ensure they are safe.<\/p>

The Government has commissioned studies to assess the impact of vehicle speed on emissions, for example undertaking a high-resolution emission modelling approach to understand changes in vehicle speeds and how it relates to emissions. The Department uses the best available evidence to model emissions in urban areas, including evidence linking vehicle speeds with emissions based on international guidelines. The evidence is that the factors influencing emissions are complex and the relative impact of vehicle speed, acceleration/deceleration and distance travelled (which are all related to journey times), will vary depending on the local situation.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, the Government\u2019s Joint Air Quality Unit helps local authorities to calculate NOx emissions in their local areas using outputs from traffic models, which use a range of parameters including speed and distance travelled (which influence journey time) and the number of vehicles. The results of these parameters are contained in their Full Business Cases which are all published documents.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Vere of Norbiton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-03T15:03:29.637Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motor Vehicles: Exhaust Emissions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an assessment of the effects of (1) vehicle speeds, and (2) journey times, on emissions in urban areas; and if so, whether higher (a) vehicle speeds, or (b) journey times, have a greater effect on emissions levels.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/499", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Campbell-Savours"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Campbell-Savours"} ], "uin" : "HL4932"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1569100", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1569100/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

NHS England regularly meets with patient groups and charities, such as Blood Cancer UK, to hear feedback on the experience of individuals who have sought and/or received treatment via a COVID-19 Medicine Delivery Unit (CMDU), and with representatives of the care home sector to identify ways to facilitate timely contact and clinical assessment for potentially eligible individuals in their care. Publications reporting on treatment via CMDUs are available in an online-only format on the National Health Service website.<\/p>

In the future, access to COVID-19 treatments will be determined by the guidance of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, which is currently undertaking a multiple technology appraisal covering a range of potential COVID-19 treatments. Once its final determination has been made and published, setting out which COVID-19 treatments should be made routinely available by the NHS, it will be for local integrated care boards to determine access pathways for these medicines within their local communities. The expectation is for treatment to be deployed through more routine access routes, including through GPs and other forms of primary care.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4948", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Markham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Markham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-07T16:48:11.43Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Coronavirus: Medical Treatments"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government how they will (1) assess, and (2) report on, the effectiveness of COVID-19 Medicine Delivery Units (CMDUs) in providing treatments for COVID-19 to vulnerable patients; and whether they have any plans (a) to disband CMDUs and devolve this responsibility to a primary care model, or (b) implement any other change of process.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4286", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Mendelsohn"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Mendelsohn"} ], "uin" : "HL4940"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "https://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&max-ddpCreated=2023-01-23T20%3A52%3A05.137Z&max-ddpModified.=2023-02-14T10%3A47%3A11.510Z&min-ddpModified.=2023-02-03T15%3A35%3A14.552Z&version=1", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 36, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
